is provided with a bore for the reception of an eraser, means being provided to normally close the bore and conceal the eraser within the latter, and the means is utilized in holdin the eraser in a projected position for use.

e nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detailed description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing, the invention residing in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawing forming part of this a plica-tion, like numerals of reference in icate similar parts in the several views, and wherein Figure 1 is a lon itudinal sectional view through the pen an pencil.

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view taken on line 22 of Figure 1.

-Figure 3 is an end elevation.

Fi re 4 is a detail view of the lead hold- 0 amp. v eferrlng to the drawing in detail, 10 indicates the barrel of the pen which is threaded at one end as at 11 to accommodate the holder 12 and the nib 13. The opposite end of the barrel is reduced and threaded as at 14 and is received by a substantially conical shaped cap 15 through the small end of which projects the strip of lead 16. This end of the article is used as a lead encil, while the opposite end is used as a ountain pen and t e pen point and holder therefor are normally concealed within the usual cap 17 provided with a spring clip 18.

The cap 17 is provided with a bore 19 which opens at one end of the cap to slidabl receive a tubular eraser 20, which is w olly disposed within the bore 19 when not in use.

When the eraser is wholly arran ed within the bore 19, the outer end of t e bore is closed by a pivoted cover 21 whiich has a cam-like portion 22. When it is desired to use the eraser, the cover 21 is swung to a perpendmular position, and the article inverted to allow the eraser to slide from within the bore 19 an ap reciable distance, and when properly posltioned, the cover 21 1s swun to the position illustrated in Figure 1, w crew the cam surface 22 forces and holds the eraser 20 against the threads of the bore 19.

Arranged within the barrel 10 is a hollow tubular member 23 constituting the stem of a'valve 24 which is adapted to move toward and away from its seat 25 formed on the pen point holder 12. This holder is also provided with a pocket 26 to receive a quantity of 111k from the barrel and by regulating the valve with relation to its seat any particular quantity of ink may be admitted to the pocket 26. The stem 23 as hereinabove stated receives. the. lead 16. This stem 1s also provided with fast and slow threads 27 and 28 respectively, the latter engaging the interior threads formed on the reduced portion 14 of the barrel. Associated with the threaded portion 28 of the stem is a threaded sleeve 29 which is formed at one end with a plurality of resilient fingers 30, the latter being positioned within the cap 15 and held by the latter'in efiective engagement with the lead 16 to hold the latter in a given position. It will be readily understood that by simply loosenin the cap 15 or wholly removing the same roin the reduced end of the barrel 10, the resilient fingers automatically move away from the lead 16 to allow the latter to be properly adjusted for use, and when the ca tightened, it moves against the resilient fingers and causes them to clip the lead 16 to old it fixed with relation to the cap. By turning the stem 23-within the reduced portion 14 of the barrel, the valve 24 is moved toward or away from its seat. The interior of the barrel is provided with opposed longitudinal ribs 31, which are received b notches formed in the periphe of a disk 32. This disk is mounted on t e stem for slidin movement, and when the stem is turne the fast threads 27 cause the disk to move longitudinally within the barrel.

The disk is used to fill the fountain pen, in-

While it is believed that from the foregoing description, the nature and advantages of the invention will be readil apparent, I desire to have it understoo that I do not limit myself to what is herein shownand described, and that'such chan es may be resorted to when desired as all within the scope of what is claimed.

What I'claim is:

A fountain pen comprising a barrel, a pen receiving element carried by one end thereof and having an ink receiving pocket, also a valve seat, a tubular stem extending longitudinall through the barrel and rotatably mounted t erein for manual rotation, a valve carried by the stem and adapted to seat on the valve seat, longitudinal ribs formed 15 upon the inner face of the barrel at diametrically opposite points, a spiral thread on the stem, a disk provided with notches at diametrically opposite points and slidable on the ribs and having threaded engagement an rotation of the stem simultaneously moving 25 the valve away from the valve seat.

In testimony whereof I aflix my si nature.
